I drew A Zone...

[Hunt4more]

Who's hunting A Zone this year for archery or rifle? How are the trail camera's looking? Boys and I went up and to check them today for the first time and were pleased to find a very nice buck. Still only mid June but these bucks looked finished. What's your tactics for archery? S&S or blind/stand? I was successful taking my first treestand buck a couple years ago in archery and we are going to be clocking hours again this year.

Well since no one is hunting A zone this year here's a sample of what's possible.

I’ll probably end up doing the archery A zone this year. I do spot and stalk most of the time.

 

[Hunt4more]

Spot and stalk can be good if you have some open ground and a good afternoon wind to cover your approach! Good luck Firewater hope to see you on here with some success.

Yeah we’ll see if I can make that hunt, I have 3 states I’m hunting august through September so we’ll see if I can fit in some time and hunt A zone.

Good news is July 11th opener on the archery. I've got a lot of windshield time between my hunt and my two boys in NM so July sounds like a good warmup.

That’s one of the states I’ll be in as well. The a zone opener will be here in no time.

My wife and I will be hunting the South Unit to get started this year and I’ll be doing some scouting for A-33 while we are out there. Can’t wait to get it started with the bow in July! Got the rig dialed in and now I’m just debating customizing some arrows or just shooting the “out of the box” VAP TKO 300 spines with the Grim Reaper Micro Hades like I did last year

Well I'm glad you guys know of some spots. Up where I am and I've lived here my whole life, I couldn't point you in an honest direction, lol.

the flying V ranch is NOT public

I used to belong to the Golden Ram they had some pretty decent A zone properties.

 

[Hunt4more]

Not public land they do have some good properties.
